Premier League player leaks Galaxy Watch 6 Classic at the airport

Samsung is bringing back the physical rotating bezel to the Galaxy Watch series. And with less than two weeks to go before Unpacked, the so-called Galaxy Watch 6 Classic got spotted in the wild on the wrist of a professional football player.

The photo below (via Yonhap News / @GaryeonHan) captured professional football player Son Heung-min going through Terminal 1 at the Incheon International Airport. The Tottenham Hotspur player, who was on a break in Korea, departed in preparation for a new season on the morning of July 14.

Thinner bezel, bigger screen

Although the Galaxy Watch 6 is not yet available, the media quickly realized that Son Heung-min was wearing the Classic version. The Galaxy Watch 6 Classic is said to bring back the physical rotating bezel after missing from the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

The photo also seems to confirm that the Galaxy Watch 6 bezel is thinner than it used to be. The Premier League player's Galaxy Watch 6 Classic comes in black, but the smartwatch should be available in at least one other color option, i.e., silver.

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Watch 6 series at Unpacked on July 26. The new smartwatches ship with the Wear OS 4-based One UI Watch 5 update, which focuses on improving health and fitness tracking with improved accuracy and more on-watch tools.

Prospective buyers can now reserve the Galaxy Watch 6 online, and if they then pre-order the watch, they can get $50 in Samsung Credit.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
